Mike,
Not just any scientist a Rocket Scientist. It says so on his CV (www.sciencespeak.com/DavidEvans.doc). He has published too. Twice!
D.M.W. Evans An Improved Digit-Reversal Permutation Algorithm for the Fast Fourier and Hartley Transforms, IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, pp. 1120–25, Aug. 1987.
D.M.W. Evans A Second Improved Digit-Reversal Permutation Algorithm for Fast Transforms, IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, pp. 1288–91, Aug. 1989.
Not a climate scientist then.
Strangely his CV mentions his work for the Australian Greenhouse Office, but not his more recent work for the Lavoisier Group: http://www.lavoisier.com.au/
This is a group with the avowed aim of exploring climate science that was set up by an Australian coal mining executive (Ray Evans). Though why Ray did this when he should be busy maximising the value of Western Mining Corporation shares is not recorded.
I wrote about David Evans ‘no smoking hotspot’ yesterday. On re-reading it I think I was too kind to him.
